chat i might have a concussion.

-I had a major tic attack last night and slammed my head really hard due to it

-my light and sound is a lot more sensitive than it should be (and it was already sensitive to begin with)

-my head hurts so fucking bad like no headache ever before

to those saying “your lack of wanting to write doesn’t mean you should abandon this blog” i understand the sentiment i really do but it’s not just me not wanting to write.

i have so many fics ready to be published because i cant stop writing, i love writing. the main problem is actually posting the fics.

if anyone pays close attention to this blog, you’ll see that i don’t post random text posts, not fic related, near as often as i used to, and i often delete them after a few minutes to hours of posting them.

i have severe anxiety as we all know, so publishing fics has always been harder for me to do, it’s nerve wracking and scary to do without feeling anxious for days on end. now i’m starting to struggle with OCD even more.

i used to just need everything even on both sides years ago, but now things have gotten to an insane point that’s new and scary and hard to really comprehend. suddenly i need to delete things or else “xyz” will happen, suddenly i cant post things with specific words or “xyz” will happen.

it doesn’t make sense, and it’s dreadful and the problem is most OCD “therapy/methods of working through compulsions” interferes with my tourettes, and now if i want to start a new therapy type i have to leave the house and get over this resurgence of severe agoraphobia.

i do write, i want to post my fics so bad, and i want to stay on this blog. but, i am one compulsion away from feeling like i have to give it all up, and it is terrifying.

this was my safe space, the one place my brain felt at peace and now i’m tearing it away from myself (albeit involuntarily) and at the moment there’s no way to stop this downward spiral immediately.

while i understand you all being sad about me abandoning ship or never posting another fic again, pleas know i am 10x sadder, and far more distraught than i could even explain.

my tourette’s syndrome is currently so unhinged i’m ready to gouge my eyes out because they won’t tic properly to relive the ‘pressure’, like my tourette’s is making me tic, but it just can’t find the right equation to do what it wants, AND NEITHER CAN I, so im just in the ‘i can feel my tic coming’ phase 24/7. i’m genuinely going insane i can’t even sleep it’s so overbearing and overwhelming AHHHHHHHG

tim drake has tourette’s in my brain……. idk why he just does

[cartoonscientist]

ever since finding about tic contagion through social media I’ve been insanely paranoid and superstitious about talking or thinking about my tourettes symptoms at all which sucks because it’s kind of a massive disabling factor in my life to randomly go “fuck you, I hate you, I’m gonna fucking kill you, no shut the fuck up you stupid bitch shut up fuck you” and I would like to talk about it sometimes

Commission for @mothiepixie i finished the other night! :3

(comms are not open (yet). this was just a comm between friends, but i am trying to get them open soon. :3)

People struggle to grasp the concept that all my conditions affect eachother. OCD intrusive thoughts manifest as coprolalia tics, adhd related frustration and hyperactivity causes tics, tics cause more fatigue, mental health affects tics, stims become tics, tics become stims. Tics affect my speech, adhd affects my sleep which affects my fatigue. ADHD affects my eating, ocd affects my eating, lack of eating equals poor mental health equals more tics and more fatigue.

People without tics/Tourette's stop using us as pawns in the physical vs mental disability and "who can reclaim the word cripple" discourse esp when you know nothing about our lives and experiences kthx

[luzxii]

[roguetheflowerchild]

Moving out at 18 because you have no choice for your mental health is a lot

[ghostedrain]

Sometimes i forget i have tourette's (diagnosed) and I randomly tic and i'm like HUH?! what was tha- oh.

[buckys-little-belle]

it’s the - ‘all you can do for the pain is advil’

and then the - ‘how many advil do you take??? that’s unacceptable’

like … it’s not making sense but okay

DO NOT EVER LET ABLEISTS TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN'T DO

About a year ago, I was denied a job as a domacillary carer because the owner of the company said that my tics would make the clients "uncomfortable". He made me feel like a monster. Like no one would ever see me for anything but my tics. Like no one could ever trust me or rely on me or be anything but scared of me.

I've been at my current domacillary care company for 5 months now. Every client is happy to see me and I've even been told I'm one client's favourite carer. I finally have job security and feel I'm doing good in the world.

All because I said a huge fuck you to the guy who told me I'd never make it.

sh + Tourette's culture is hitting yourself so much that your brain somehow picks it up as a tic
